It's my cats' fault.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I woke up to Junsu in my face. Literally. Inches from my nose. Just staring at me. Wow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I noticed several more sets of eyeballs nearby and I knew ... it was breakfast time ... and the cats' food dishes were empty ... our six hungry cats seemed to be using their mental powers collectively to make me behave!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I got up and opened the new bag of cat food I got yesterday. I knew if I didn't, the next step would have something to do with being fileted!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's when I found what seemed to confirm my feline companions' opinion ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlRmrhMY7fPB7FKtY57QqsyYlDCqkEiPOBJxj0GBGeodjB8g616y_tc05xUjMo28CXwaPS9e4iM-oH37mGy36Zr-3BfVAqqW-8YfR3e2mbd2zq5ffstbzaJJrZF07mJ9VULfNexy7btFY/s1600/not+winner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlRmrhMY7fPB7FKtY57QqsyYlDCqkEiPOBJxj0GBGeodjB8g616y_tc05xUjMo28CXwaPS9e4iM-oH37mGy36Zr-3BfVAqqW-8YfR3e2mbd2zq5ffstbzaJJrZF07mJ9VULfNexy7btFY/s1600/not+winner.jpg" height="102" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which is why I'm going back to bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe when I get up again, <span style="color: #741b47;"><i><b>I will be a winner!!!</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a hard time leaving other
peoples photos in the bin at the thrift store. I know the next step for
these one-time treasures is the shredder ... and recycle bin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what do I do with the photos I can't resist bringing home?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well ... some stories are just begging to be told!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Snicker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm having waaaay too much fun with these!<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found several small "Remembrance" cards scattered in a bin at the local thrift outlet store ... I was curious, and opened one up to read it. The other shoppers surrounding me must have wondered at the strange laughter that consumed me ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The card apparently came from a canine memorial service ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it's what was written inside that made me smile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I remember" </div>

Memorial Day is a time for Americans to remember and appreciate the heroes who paid the ultimate price for freedom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was going through Dad's photos after he died, and happened across an old photo album filled with pictures from the 1940's ... among them were 3 pictures of a man named "Tiny".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember Dad talking about Tiny - he was his cousin and best friend. They were closer than brothers ... and in fact were born just 2 days apart! But Tiny was "killed in the war" (WWII). While Dad was being held as a prisoner of war.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tiny was known by many names ... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tiny Martin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Percy Martin </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Percy O. Martin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Percy Orson Martin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Percy Orcin Martin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brother</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cousin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friend </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Son</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Marine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeJT_Sh2IGl6U4AWRuVIDgdcXWFG5E7lkpM5Nhf4KXgSolHbu7aE7Up29kibGAsbBZkktmXvSA6lMNDA_WzdzCy25Rpb5jh3f0EuFDgafsPkNgfXKupEBneHU41LuJmaSaP_ADApzGRdg/s1600/Tiny5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeJT_Sh2IGl6U4AWRuVIDgdcXWFG5E7lkpM5Nhf4KXgSolHbu7aE7Up29kibGAsbBZkktmXvSA6lMNDA_WzdzCy25Rpb5jh3f0EuFDgafsPkNgfXKupEBneHU41LuJmaSaP_ADApzGRdg/s1600/Tiny5.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Tiny's headstone, courtesy of <a href="http://www.findagrave.com/"><i>"Find-A-Grave"</i></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It doesn't tell much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like his nickname "Tiny". I'm sorry I never asked Dad about that one! "Tiny" was, by all accounts, a fairly large man!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or the fact that he died on <a href="http://www.ww2gyrene.org/spotlight4_26thmarines.htm">Iwo Jima during WWII </a>... only 2 days into the<i> </i>brutal and bloody battle there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The headstone doesn't show how handsome he was! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How full of fun and life he was. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Or how he loved being a Marine. He even sent Dad a letter teasing him for joining the Army instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never met Tiny - he was killed long before I was born.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I still sit here with tears in my eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is a hero to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'm so glad to have made his acquaintance through the memories of my father.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whenever I see them at the thrift store outlet, I pick up old photos, negatives and slides.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found these (negatives) a couple of months ago, and was shocked that they had ended up being thrown out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These appear to be WWII era photos, taken in Europe (?).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first clue as to the identity of these photos is the insignia on the equipment (26th Infantry Regiment). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdQQmJ1tMMSaan5IWrBkCawOtgYmFe5o8ga3YxHfaGkp5FzuPYlgjU0CialN_9UyPDWvYybrnd8Klk60gmlvVn73iucVCrZ8UeBRCDjpzRqGEEZCj9Z_5haX-MZPq2v9cmFgSwvSJJRkU/s1600/PICT0034a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdQQmJ1tMMSaan5IWrBkCawOtgYmFe5o8ga3YxHfaGkp5FzuPYlgjU0CialN_9UyPDWvYybrnd8Klk60gmlvVn73iucVCrZ8UeBRCDjpzRqGEEZCj9Z_5haX-MZPq2v9cmFgSwvSJJRkU/s1600/PICT0034a.JPG" height="207" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second clue is this scoreboard, which reads "Blue Spader Field". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had no luck in finding out the location of this field. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The grandstands of the game were filled with servicemen in uniform (complete with weapons!), and a couple of guys dressed in white selling refreshments in the stands. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil2rZMe_HKHYCFsGkG13mMuOfGdINF6xj8tSaTV-MdP2iFMmlZ_vdM3IP_pWPVCUZ751znwWAn4kutZfI6aaRlU8ZpwxueAjrlan0URccu4lEjTKL9w01bxuKdRNxrBR_wbgDnHmIw6l8/s1600/PICT0022a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil2rZMe_HKHYCFsGkG13mMuOfGdINF6xj8tSaTV-MdP2iFMmlZ_vdM3IP_pWPVCUZ751znwWAn4kutZfI6aaRlU8ZpwxueAjrlan0URccu4lEjTKL9w01bxuKdRNxrBR_wbgDnHmIw6l8/s1600/PICT0022a.JPG" height="207" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This photo made me chuckle. It appears to be a rifle inspection. Out of the 5 weapons on display, only 2 are displayed uniformly. Two of the others are on their sides, while one is upside down! No wonder the poor guy looks to be rubbing his eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are more photos in the set, and I will attempt to post them in the next few days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am linking this to <a href="http://vintageweeklymeme.blogspot.com/"><i>"Vintage Weekly"</i></a> ... for the first time in a while (sorry Jane!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It made me sad to find this cute little handmade note in a bin at the thrift store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To me, it's a treasure! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I found a bunch of old family photos and negatives I had never seen before ... they appear to be from the mid-1970's. This one is one of my favorites ... my brother blowing bubbles into a mud puddle.</div>

I found this delightful note in Grammie's papers. It was written by her nephew when he was a child.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Dorothy has a baby its name is Roger and Roger has a tooth. He is so cute when he pounds the piano. I wish I had a piano and a baby."</div>

It still makes me sad to think someone threw away these precious family mementos of days gone by. Especially since there is no way to identify who is in these photos. Sigh. </div>

I found these old photos tucked into a battered old photo album at the Goodwill outlet store just a couple of weeks ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were 19 photos in all. A few have dates, which range from 1918 to 1929. Several of them have first names, but not enough to identify where they came from.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the outfits of these girls - and the photographer's shadow as well!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This looks to be a four-generation family shot. I love how all of the ladies are looking at the baby instead of at the camera.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a date on the corner of 1926 (the same year my dad was born), and there is a scratchy name on the back that looks like "Mrilla"</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those who know me know I love our<i> </i>local thrift store's surplus store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can spend hours perusing the bins, then pay for the treasures I find "by the pound".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(It's only been recently that this wonderful store discovered that people love books - and started charging for them separately. $2 for hardbacks; $1 for paperbacks.)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But back to the story ... as a special birthday treat to myself, I spent several hours a couple of days ago at the local bin store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the workers rolled in a couple of bins filled with books, the "vultures" descended ... at least 6 people, electronic gadgets in hand, scanning barcodes ... unwanted books flying in their wake. (I'm assuming these people have an app from our local bookstore that buys certain used books).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the vultures moved on, leaving chaos in their wake, I moved in; and found an old-looking book without a cover. I love to take these broken books (already destined for the shredder) apart to use for arts and crafts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, 2 bins down, I found the cover.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Tears filled her eyes when she handed me this stained and tattered old photo ... the only one she could find of her beloved older brother.</div>

I know she misses him too.</div>

I hate seeing old photos in the bins at the thrift outlet store. I know the next stop for these treasures is the shredder. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this cute shot of "Larry & <strike>Jim Balder</strike>", along with several other vintage (1940's and 1950's) photos a couple of years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I found this "treasure chest" in a bin at the Surplus Store ... and couldn't resist the precious artwork.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These marigold seeds were packaged for the 1986 growing season, and apparently sold to raise money for the Epilepsy Foundation of America.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wonder if they would still grow if I planted them??? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to smile as well at the hearts I found ... in the leaves of the potted plant; in the spade propped up in the pot just behind the little gardener ... </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I was going through Dad's photos, I came across a bunch that were dated 1946-1949, Oscoda Air Base, Michigan. Nearly all of them had "Bade's Gang" written on the back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It wasn't until I came across this particular shot that I realized what "Bade's Gang" was referring to!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I found an album dated "1946-1949" from "Selfridge Air Base" in with Dad's papers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were so many pictures I have never seen before ... from a time Dad tried to forget ... and struggled to remember at the same time. </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
These were apparently taken on an "R&R" trip to Boiling Springs PA from Carlisle Barracks PA (Dad went to MP School there in 1947).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't figure out why this picture was included amongst the beautiful travel photos in the "Europe 1978" albums I found at the Goodwill.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I saw the sign ... and realized this was a Bed and Breakfast that "anonymous" apparently stayed at on their whirlwind trip through Europe (in the Ireland portion of their album).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it's not often I find a photo that encompasses so many of the memes I love ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are <i><a href="http://clytie-randomhearts.blogspot.com/">"hearts"</a></i> in the fence and gate if you look closely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's the <i><a href="http://lifeaccordingtojanandjer.blogspot.com/">"fence"</a></i> itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's the B&B <a href="http://signs2.blogspot.com/">"sign</a>".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That bottom window has interesting <i><a href="http://weekendreflection.blogspot.com/">"reflections"</a></i> ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this is definitely a <a href="http://vintageweeklymeme.blogspot.com/"><i>"Vintage"</i></a> photo! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did I miss any?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't believe it when I found 2 photo albums at the Goodwill Outlet Store ... full of wonderful pictures from someone's trip to Europe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the flyleaf of each album is written "Europe 1978". There are no other identifying marks. Some of the photos have small typewritten identification tags, but most are missing. I have had a blast trying to identify some of the more famous places!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one of the shots taken in Ireland ...don't you just love the contrast of the cart being driven past the car?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The albums include shots from: Ireland, England, France and Italy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't imagine how they ended up at the Goodwill.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But ... someone's loss is my gain!!!</div>

I was grinning at <a href="http://bethlniquetteart.blogspot.com/2012/09/im-in-love-with-my-car-guest-heart.html"><i>"Beth's Artworx"</i></a> - and Sissie's whimsical drawing of her 1964 VW Bug.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I knew what I had to do!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to search until I found this picture of Sissie and her car (with the most awesome name of "Pepi le Piu Flea Longstock, Jr. (aka stinky little furry feet, the second)" - taken during a snowstorm back in the 70's.<br />
